Multiple Mechanisms for Emerging Conductance Plateaus in Fractional Quantum Hall States.

Phys Rev Lett

Raymond and Beverly Sackler School of Physics and Astronomy, Tel-Aviv University, Tel Aviv, 6997801, Israel.

Two-terminal conductance quantization in the context of quantum Hall (QH) physics is intimately related to the current carried by a discrete number of chiral edge modes. Upon pinching off a QH bar, one may engineer setups where some modes are fully transmitted (while the others are fully reflected), giving rise to the orthodox theory of quantized conductance plateaus. Here, we note that the observation of quantized plateaus does not uniquely indicate the underlying mechanism.

Background: In order to apply current treatment recommendations for psoriatic arthritis (PsA), a complete assessment of psoriatic disease domains must be completed by the clinician. This includes a musculoskeletal examination (including tender and swollen joints, dactylitis, enthesitis, and axial disease) as well as skin and nail examination. Documentation in the clinician's note serves as a proxy for disease assessment.

From pixels to planning: scale-free active inference.

Front Netw Physiol

June 2025

Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom.

This paper describes a discrete state-space model and accompanying methods for generative modeling. This model generalizes partially observed Markov decision processes to include paths as latent variables, rendering it suitable for active inference and learning in a dynamic setting. Specifically, we consider deep or hierarchical forms using the renormalization group.

Nature, as far as we know, evolves continuously through space and time. Yet the ubiquitous hidden Markov model (HMM)-originally developed for discrete time and space analysis in natural language processing-remains a central tool in interpreting time series data drawn from from physical systems. This raises a fundamental question: What are the implications of applying a discrete-state, discrete-time framework to analyze data generated by a continuously evolving system? Through synthetic data generated using Langevin dynamics in an effective potential, we explore under what circumstances HMMs yield interpretable results.

A Law of Large Numbers for Local Patterns in Schur Measures and a Schur Process.

J Theor Probab

June 2025

Université d'Angers, LAREMA, UMR CNRS 6093, 2 Boulevard Lavoisier, 49045 Angers cedex 01, France.

The aim of this note is to prove a law of large numbers for local patterns in discrete point processes. We investigate two different situations: a class of point processes on the one-dimensional lattice including certain Schur measures, and a model of random plane partitions, introduced by Okounkov and Reshetikhin. The results state in both cases that the linear statistic of a function, weighted by the appearance of a fixed pattern in the random configuration and conveniently normalized, converges to the deterministic integral of that function weighted by the expectation with respect to the limit process of the appearance of the pattern.
